Abstract

Abstract An accumulation of Pleistocene owl pellets (strigilites) containing 30 arvicoline rodent teeth was found at the Little Dell Dam fossil site outside of Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, in 1992. The accumulation was recovered in a single block of matrix with partially exposed teeth. We used high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (CT) to segment, digitally prepare, and describe teeth belonging to Allophaiomys pliocaenicus, Mictomys kansasensis, or Mictomys meltoni, and a previously recognized but unnamed morphotype of Phenacomys. Digital preparation revealed 10 associated upper or lower dentitions of those taxa. A reinterpretation of the age of the site (∼150 thousand years ago) using arvicoline rodent biochronology was made based on recent research at Cathedral Cave, Nevada. The new estimate is a much younger age for the Little Dell Dam fauna from Locality 2 than was previously reported.

La acumulación se recuperó en un solo bloque de matriz con dientes parcialmente expuestos.

犹他州小戴尔坝(更新世)鼠科动物的异常聚集
摘要1992年,在美国犹他州盐湖城外的小戴尔坝化石遗址发现了一堆含有30颗arvicoline啮齿动物牙齿的更新世猫头鹰颗粒(榴石)。堆积在一块部分露出牙齿的基质中被恢复。我们使用高分辨率x射线计算机断层扫描(CT)来分割、数字制备和描述属于Allophaiomys pliocaenicus、Mictomys kansasensis或Mictomys meltoni的牙齿,以及以前发现但未命名的Phenacomys形态。数字准备显示了这些分类群的10个相关的上或下牙列。根据最近在内华达州大教堂洞穴(Cathedral Cave)的研究,利用arvicoline啮齿动物生物年代学重新解释了该遗址的年龄(约15万年前)。新的估计是小戴尔坝动物群的年龄比以前报道的要小得多。resume Se encontró en 1992 una acumulación de regurgitaciones estrígidas del Pleistoceno (estrigilitas) que continenen 30 dientes de roedor arvicolina en sittio de fósiles de la presa Little Dell, en las afueras de Salt Lake condado de Salt Lake, Utah。La acumulación se recuperó en un solo bloque de matriz condies specialmentes exuestos。利用tomografía computarizada (TC) de rayos X de alta resolución para segment,编制数字化描述dientes pertencientes、Allophaiomys pliocaenicus、Mictomys kansasensis、Mictomys meltoni,以及morfotipo de Phenacomys preconocido perconocido的命名。La preparación digital reveló diez denticiones superior o inferies associadas de esos taxones。Se realizó una reinterpretación de la edad del sitio (~ 150 ka) usando biocronología de roedores arvicolina basada en una investigación reciente en Cathedral Cave, Nevada。这是一个非常有趣的地方más temprana para la fauna de la presa Little Dell de la localidad 2 de loque se informó teriorte。

期刊介绍: The Southwestern Naturalist (a publication of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists since 1953) is an international journal (published quarterly) that reports original and significant research in any field of natural history. This journal promotes the study of plants and animals (living and fossil) in the multinational region that includes the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Appropriate submission of manuscripts may come from studies conducted in the countries of focus or in regions outside this area that report significant findings relating to biota occurring in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Publication is in English, and manuscripts may be feature articles or notes. Feature articles communicate results of completed scientific investigations, while notes are reserved for short communications (e.g., behavioral observations, range extensions, and other important findings that do not in themselves constitute a comprehensive study). All manuscripts (feature articles and notes) require an abstract in both English and Spanish.
